The '''EEB Graduate Student Symposium''' is an all day event where graduate students present their research to other graduate students and faculty. Any EEB graduate student can present: BSMS, masters, PhD, old and new students. New graduate students usually present research ideas or preliminary data, while those more ‘seasoned’ students present their most recent results, often in preparation for upcoming spring and summer meetings. <br />

<br> Keynote Address: On the many meanings of "doing theory" in biology <br><br />
“Theoretical biology” is a surprisingly heterogeneous field, partly because it encompasses “doing theory” across disciplines as diverse as molecular biology, systematics, ecology and evolutionary biology. Moreover, it is done in a stunning variety of different ways, using anything from formal analytical models to computer simulations, from graphic representations to verbal arguments. In this talk I explore a number of aspects of what it means to do theoretical biology, and how they compare with the allegedly much more restricted sense of theory in the physical sciences. I also tackle a recent trend toward the presentation of all-encompassing theories in the biological sciences, from general theories of ecology to a recent attempt to provide a conceptual framework for the entire set of biological disciplines. Finally, I discuss the roles played by philosophers of science in criticizing and shaping biological theorizing.<br />

<br>Late Devonian Conichnus from Tioga, Pennsylvania: Evidence of Asexual Sea Anemone Reproduction <br><br />
A long section of Famennian (Late Devonian) strata along US Route 15 in Tioga, Pennsylvania exposes the transition between the shallow marine Lock Haven Formation and the terrestrial Catskill Formation. Numerous specimens of the ichnofossil Conichnus have been found in the transitional zone between these facies. These conical, lined burrows are typically interpreted as dwelling or resting traces of sea anemones. Different aspects of the burrows’ structure are visible on the tops, soles, and sides of beds. Sedimentary structures in this interval include mudcracks and microbial fabrics, and adjacent beds contain Skolithos. The Conichnus-bearing interval contains a few beds with low-diversity body fossil assemblages (e.g., lingulids and Cyrtospirifer), in contrast with the base of the section, which possesses a diverse marine fauna (primarily brachiopods). The Conichnus of Tioga are smaller than many occurrences described previously (diameter equals 4.5-9.5 mm, height equals 3+ times the diameter, where visible). Other, less well-preserved cnidarian ichnofossils (e.g., Bergaueria) have been described elsewhere in the Upper Devonian Appalachian Basin. Thus, sea anemones were not uncommon along the shores of the Catskill Sea. The Tioga specimens show interesting features such as disturbed laminae (equilibrium structures) representing adjustment by the sea anemones to background sedimentation. The trace makers were also able to exhume and reposition themselves after significant depositional events (several cm of sediment, equivalent to the depth of the trace). In some specimens, the burrows are aligned in chains, possibly representing asexual reproduction by binary fission.<br />

<br> Keynote Address: On the many meanings of "doing theory" in biology <br><br />
“Theoretical biology” is a surprisingly heterogeneous field, partly because it encompasses “doing theory” across disciplines as diverse as molecular biology, systematics, ecology and evolutionary biology. Moreover, it is done in a stunning variety of different ways, using anything from formal analytical models to computer simulations, from graphic representations to verbal arguments. In this talk I explore a number of aspects of what it means to do theoretical biology, and how they compare with the allegedly much more restricted sense of theory in the physical sciences. I also tackle a recent trend toward the presentation of all-encompassing theories in the biological sciences, from general theories of ecology to a recent attempt to provide a conceptual framework for the entire set of biological disciplines. Finally, I discuss the roles played by philosophers of science in criticizing and shaping biological theorizing.<br />

<br>Late Devonian Conichnus from Tioga, Pennsylvania: Evidence of Asexual Sea Anemone Reproduction <br><br />
A long section of Famennian (Late Devonian) strata along US Route 15 in Tioga, Pennsylvania exposes the transition between the shallow marine Lock Haven Formation and the terrestrial Catskill Formation. Numerous specimens of the ichnofossil Conichnus have been found in the transitional zone between these facies. These conical, lined burrows are typically interpreted as dwelling or resting traces of sea anemones. Different aspects of the burrows’ structure are visible on the tops, soles, and sides of beds. Sedimentary structures in this interval include mudcracks and microbial fabrics, and adjacent beds contain Skolithos. The Conichnus-bearing interval contains a few beds with low-diversity body fossil assemblages (e.g., lingulids and Cyrtospirifer), in contrast with the base of the section, which possesses a diverse marine fauna (primarily brachiopods). The Conichnus of Tioga are smaller than many occurrences described previously (diameter equals 4.5-9.5 mm, height equals 3+ times the diameter, where visible). Other, less well-preserved cnidarian ichnofossils (e.g., Bergaueria) have been described elsewhere in the Upper Devonian Appalachian Basin. Thus, sea anemones were not uncommon along the shores of the Catskill Sea. The Tioga specimens show interesting features such as disturbed laminae (equilibrium structures) representing adjustment by the sea anemones to background sedimentation. The trace makers were also able to exhume and reposition themselves after significant depositional events (several cm of sediment, equivalent to the depth of the trace). In some specimens, the burrows are aligned in chains, possibly representing asexual reproduction by binary fission.<br />

The '''EEB Graduate Student Symposium''' is an all day event where graduate students present their research to other graduate students and faculty. Any EEB graduate student can present: BSMS, masters, PhD, old and new students. New graduate students usually present research ideas or preliminary data, while those more ‘seasoned’ students present their most recent results, often in preparation for upcoming spring and summer meetings. <br />

<br />
My dissertation research focuses on answering questions regarding the osmoregulatory system in bony fishes, that is, the set of physiological mechanisms by which water and ion homoestasis is maintained. Specifically, I am investigating both the micro-evolution and the ontogeny of the osmoregulatory system in an anadromous shad known as the alewife (Alosa pseudoharengus) <br/><br />
<br />
The reason I have chosen to study alewives is because of their interesting life history. Most alewives are anadromous - adults inhabit the open ocean and return yearly to small, freshwater systems to spawn. In addition, multiple populations of alewives have been independently restricted to freshwater systems year-round - a phenomenon known as land-locking. Land-locking in alewives provides a unique opportunity to investigate the specific physiological and molecular adaptations made by fish when they transition from living in seawater to specializing in freshwater - environments that require drastically different methods of osmoregulating. Not only does this represent a significant gap in our knowledge of osmoregulatory physiology, but changes to this system that permitted organisms to specialize in FW represent major evolutionary transitions <br/><br />
<br />
My research focuses mainly on the osmoregulatory processes of the gills, since gills are the main site of ion exchange in fish. I will look at how survival, plasma ion content, and gene expression at several candidate osmoregulatory loci differ between landlocked and anadromous alewives. <br/><br />

== About Me ==<br />
I am currently a doctoral student at the University of Connecticut, working under the care and guidance of [http://hydrodictyon.eeb.uconn.edu/people/eschultz/ Dr. Eric Schultz]. <br/><br />
<br />
My research interests are broad, but my work centers around the physiological, molecular and evolutionary ecology of fishes <br/><br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
My dissertation research focuses on answering questions regarding the osmoregulatory system in bony fishes, that is, the set of physiological mechanisms by which water and ion homoestasis is maintained. Specifically, I am investigating both the micro-evolution and the ontogeny of the osmoregulatory system in an anadromous shad known as the alewife (Alosa pseudoharengus) <br/><br />
<br />
The reason I have chosen to study alewives is because of their interesting life history. Most alewives are anadromous - adults inhabit the open ocean and return yearly to small, freshwater systems to spawn. In addition, multiple populations of alewives have been independently restricted to freshwater systems year-round - a phenomenon known as land-locking. Land-locking in alewives provides a unique opportunity to investigate the specific physiological and molecular adaptations made by fish when they transition from living in seawater to specializing in freshwater - environments that require drastically different methods of osmoregulating. Not only does this represent a significant gap in our knowledge of osmoregulatory physiology, but changes to this system that permitted organisms to specialize in FW represent major evolutionary transitions <br/><br />
<br />
My research focuses mainly on the osmoregulatory processes of the gills, since gills are the main site of ion exchange in fish. My endpoints of interest include survival, plasma osmolality, ion transporter activity, gene expression and transcriptome modifications after prolonged periods of salinity challenge <br/><br />

The '''EEB Graduate Student Symposium''' is an all day event where graduate students present their research to other graduate students and faculty. Any EEB graduate student can present: BSMS, masters, PhD, old and new students. New graduate students usually present research ideas or preliminary data, while those more ‘seasoned’ students present their most recent results, often in preparation for upcoming spring and summer meetings. <br />

<br />
My dissertation research focuses on answering questions regarding the osmoregulatory system in bony fishes, that is, the set of physiological mechanisms by which water and ion homoestasis is maintained. Specifically, I am investigating both the micro-evolution and the ontogeny of the osmoregulatory system in an anadromous shad known as the alewife (Alosa pseudoharengus) <br/><br />
<br />
The reason I have chosen to study alewives is because of their interesting life history. Most alewives are anadromous - adults inhabit the open ocean and return yearly to small, freshwater systems to spawn. In addition, multiple populations of alewives have been independently restricted to freshwater systems year-round - a phenomenon known as land-locking. Land-locking in alewives provides a unique opportunity to investigate the specific physiological and molecular adaptations made by fish when they transition from living in seawater to specializing in freshwater - environments that require drastically different methods of osmoregulating. Not only does this represent a significant gap in our knowledge of osmoregulatory physiology, but changes to this system that permitted organisms to specialize in FW represent major evolutionary transitions <br/><br />
<br />
My research focuses mainly on the osmoregulatory processes of the gills, since gills are the main site of ion exchange in fish. My endpoints of interest include survival, plasma osmolality, ion transporter activity, gene expression and transcriptome modifications after prolonged periods of salinity challenge <br/><br />

My dissertation research focuses on answering questions regarding the osmoregulatory system in bony fishes, that is, the set of physiological mechanisms by which water and ion homoestasis is maintained. Specifically, I am investigating both the micro-evolution and the ontogeny of the osmoregulatory system in an anadromous shad known as the alewife (Alosa pseudoharengus) <br/><br />
<br />
The reason I have chosen to study alewives is because of their interesting life history. Most alewives are anadromous - adults inhabit the open ocean and return yearly to small, freshwater systems to spawn. In addition, multiple populations of alewives have been independently restricted to freshwater systems year-round - a phenomenon known as land-locking. Land-locking in alewives provides a unique opportunity to investigate the specific physiological and molecular adaptations made by fish when they transition from living in seawater to specializing in freshwater - environments that require drastically different methods of osmoregulating. Not only does this represent a significant gap in our knowledge of osmoregulatory physiology, but changes to this system that permitted organisms to specialize in FW represent major evolutionary transitions <br/><br />
<br />
My research focuses mainly on the osmoregulatory processes of the gills, since gills are the main site of ion exchange in fish. My endpoints of interest include survival, plasma osmolality, ion transporter activity, gene expression and transcriptome modifications after prolonged periods of salinity challenge <br/><br />

== Dissertation Research ==<br />
<br />
My dissertation research focuses on answering questions regarding the osmoregulatory system in bony fishes, that is, the set of physiological mechanisms by which water and ion homoestasis is maintained. Specifically, I am investigating both the micro-evolution and the ontogeny of the osmoregulatory system in an anadromous shad known as the alewife (Alosa pseudoharengus) <br/><br />
<br />
The reason I have chosen to study alewives is because of their interesting life history. Most alewives are anadromous - adults inhabit the open ocean and return yearly to small, freshwater systems to spawn. In addition, multiple populations of alewives have been independently restricted to freshwater systems year-round - a phenomenon known as land-locking. Land-locking in alewives provides a unique opportunity to investigate the specific physiological and molecular adaptations made by fish when they transition from living in seawater to specializing in freshwater - environments that require drastically different methods of osmoregulating. Not only does this represent a significant gap in our knowledge of osmoregulatory physiology, but changes to this system that permitted organisms to specialize in FW represent major evolutionary transitions <br/><br />
<br />
My research focuses mainly on the osmoregulatory processes of the gills, since gills are the main site of ion exchange in fish. My endpoints of interest include survival, plasma osmolality, ion transporter activity, gene expression and transcriptome modifications after prolonged periods of salinity challenge <br/><br />
